VIDEO: 'I Killed A Man' Confessor Is Indicted

Matthew Cordle of Ohio, "whose dramatic online video confession to killing a man in a drunken-driving crash went viral" over the weekend, was indicted Monday on a charge of aggravated vehicular homicide, The Columbus Dispatch reports.

"Cordle, 22, was indicted by a Franklin [Ohio] County grand jury for causing the death of Vincent Canzani, 61, of Gahanna, in the wrong-way crash on I-670 near 3rd Street on June 22," the Dispatch adds.

Posted Sept. 3 on YouTube, Cordle's confession has now been viewed more than 1.2 million times. In it, Cordle says he will plead guilty "when I get charged ... and take full responsibility for everything I've done to Vincent and his family."

The Dispatch says that "aggravated vehicular homicide is a second-degree felony carrying two to eight and one-half years in prison. Cordle is expected to surrender and be booked at the Franklin County Jail this afternoon, authorities said."

As Huffington Post notes, Cordle's video has prompted a debate about whether he's a hero — for so publicly confessing — or just a villain. The daughter of the man killed in the crash believes Cordle is mostly trying to get a lighter sentence. He was already in legal jeopardy before his online confession: According to the Dispatch, "prosecutor Ron O'Brien said today that Cordle's blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.19 percent following the crash, more than twice the 0.08 level at which a motorist is presumed drunk in Ohio. "

The professionally produced video was done with the help of the Ohio-based "Because I Said I Would" campaign, "a social movement dedicated to bettering humanity through the power of a promise."
